Overview
- The Supreme Anti‑Corruption Court ordered 60 days of pre‑trial detention for Iryna Mudra on Tuesday following prosecutors’ accusations that she helped legalize roughly €2.9 million tied to a prior corruption case.
- Prosecutors say the disputed €2.9 million included funds linked to former energy minister Herman Haluschtschenko and that Mudra played a role in legitimizing those bail sums.
- The court offered an alternative provisional release with a roughly €390,000 bail that would bar Mudra from leaving Kyiv or contacting witnesses if she can raise the money.
- Video from the hearing showed Mudra being led from the courtroom in handcuffs, and she told media she does not immediately have the bail sum and is seeking help from acquaintances.
- The case is being handled by Ukraine’s specialized anti‑corruption court and adds pressure on the presidential office and on broader efforts to show credible oversight of public money while the country receives major Western aid.
